Roger Caras said "Dogs are not our whole life but they make our lives whole." He was wrong. When you live with four, obedience train two, agility train two and co-own a dog boutique:(GollyGear); dogs are your life. And life is good.

Motorcyclists, be safe out there!

Last night was Agility Class again. To get there we travel less than 10 miles, but saw two motorcyclists driving unsafely and the aftermath of one. The first instance was before we even got on the expressway. We were in a line stopped at a light when a motorcyclist came roaring out of a parking lot across the street to zoom past the line of stopped cars to be first when the light changed. The second was a cyclist was weaving in and out of lanes on the expressway. The third was a crash between a motorcycle and a car on the expressway. Two fire trucks, two Illinois Department of Transportation vehicles and an ambulance were on the scene. There's a lesson. Be careful out there!

I almost hit a motorcyclist yesterday as he emerged from a line of cars to suddenly appear in front of me. My reaction was to slam on my brakes. His reaction was to flip me the bird. Brilliant, just brilliant.

About us

Hope and Fran are sisters and owners of GollyGear - a shop specializing in fun, affordable, and practical products especially for small dogs.

We believe that dogs are wonderful companions and their presence enriches our lives. We also know how difficult it can be to find appropriate "gear" for our small dogs, which is why we founded Golly Gear. We make it a point to discover the best products for small dogs and share them with other, devoted dog lovers.

Fran has two dogs: Tango, a 5-year-old Brussels Griffon who got off to a bit of a rough start, but is rapidly becoming a wonderful companion and agility dog, with his Masters Standard and Novice Jumpers titles, and Booker, 2-year-old Boston Terrier just starting his adventure. Hope has Teddy a 4-year-old fawn Frenchie with attitude and Open Standard and Jumpers titles; and Torque, a brand-new Frenchie baby.

Golly Gear is named for Fran's Brussels Griffon, Golly - who was a discriminating judge of all things dog throughout her life.
